The Foundation Reset
Calms and rebalances the stress response first, moving the nervous system out of a chronic fight-or-flight state.
All of phase 01, ResetWhy a dual block
You cannot optimize the body until you reboot the nervous system.
The stellate ganglion is a bundle of sympathetic nerves in the neck that helps regulate your stress response. When it stays switched on, the body gets stuck in what is best described as survival mode: the “tired but wired” pattern of sympathetic overdrive.
The Reboot Protocol addresses both sides on two consecutive days. A local anesthetic is placed around the stellate ganglion under real-time ultrasound guidance: the right side on day one, the left side on day two.

- Two days, both sidesRight side on day one, left side on day two.
- Phase one of fourThe reset is the foundation for Repair, Restore and Optimize.
Patient reviews
In their words.
Doing this treatment with Dr Meighen at Reboot was the best decision I've made this year so far! …
As a veteran with multiple deployments … within 72 hours I started to find myself happier, more at ease and almost peaceful.
… post DSGB I have felt way better. My stress levels don't get as high and when I do get stressed I can let ot go so much better. …
The DSGB procedure has helped reset my Adrenals, giving me better sleep and energy.
… I had forgotten what it felt like to be happy, calm or get good sleep. The DSGB brought those things back and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Mental Health Clinic in Tampa, FL
Built for people who refuse to slow down.
Dr. Meighen evaluates every patient first, and the protocol is not right for everyone. Reboot Vitality does not provide talk therapy or psychiatry: the protocol is used alongside your therapist or doctor, never instead of them. Start with the conditions we evaluate and treat.
- High-performing professionals In Tampa’s legal, medical and corporate circles, stress physiology overload is often mistaken for a lack of discipline. It is a chronic pattern of sympathetic overdrive, and it can be addressed at its source.
- Veterans and first responders Restoring the mission-ready mind: a calm, clinical path for service members, veterans and first responders who have spent years in survival mode.
Veterans, active duty service members and first responders can book the same stellate ganglion block: two days, both sides, under ultrasound guidance, performed by Dr. Meighen. Read how we approach PTSD treatment with stellate ganglion block.
The clinic is about 7 miles from MacDill Air Force Base. Reboot Vitality is an independent clinic and is not part of, or endorsed by, the VA.
- Tired but wired Exhausted all day, switched on all night. Find out if your body is operating in survival mode with the Reboot Nervous System Reset Assessment™.

Pain Control Clinic in Tampa, FL
Two days. Both sides.
A stellate ganglion block is a nerve block from pain medicine, performed by a physician. Dr. Meighen, board-certified in Pain Medicine, places a local anesthetic around the stellate ganglion under real-time ultrasound guidance and performs both sides himself. See how the two-day Reboot Protocol works.
1
Consultation and Nervous System Evaluation
Day one starts here: Dr. Meighen reviews your symptoms, history, medications and stress-load patterns himself.
Day 1: right side 2
Ultrasound-Guided DSGB Injection, Right Side
Day one. Real-time ultrasound guidance is used to place a local anesthetic around the stellate ganglion, to block the sympathetic signal.
Day 2: left side 3
Ultrasound-Guided DSGB Injection, Left Side
Day two, the next day. The same guided injection on the other side of the neck. Treating both sides is what makes it a dual block.
4
20 to 30 Minutes of Monitoring, Each Day
After each injection you rest for 20 to 30 minutes while the team monitors you. Warmth in the face or a feeling of heaviness around the eye are normal responses.
5
Day two. Both sides done.
After monitoring you can drive yourself home. If there is any concern about you driving, the staff arrange a driver or transportation.

What is the Reboot Protocol?
It is our dual stellate ganglion block (DSGB). Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a local anesthetic is placed around the stellate ganglion, a bundle of sympathetic nerves in the neck: the right side on day one, then the left side on day two.
What happens over the two days?
Day one: your consultation and nervous system evaluation, the right-side injection, then 20 to 30 minutes of monitoring before you go home. Day two: the left-side injection, monitoring again, and home.
What might I feel during monitoring?
Warmth in the face or a feeling of heaviness around the eye are normal responses. The team stays with you for 20 to 30 minutes before you leave.
Is it covered by insurance?
Ask the team about insurance, including Tricare, before you book.
Who is a good candidate?
Executives, first responders, veterans, athletes and anyone whose performance is being worn down by chronic stress. Your consultation and nervous system evaluation decide whether the protocol is right for you.
